Charred Shishito Peppers with Sesame

Scott Phillips

Servings:4 to 6 as a first course

These peppers are seasoned with gomasio, a Japanese condiment of toasted sesame seeds and salt. Its nutty crunch is the perfect complement to the smoky-sweet peppers. Sprinkle extra gomasio on salad or popcorn.

Preparation

  • In a mortar and pestle, pound the sesame seeds and granulated garlic with 1/2 Tbs. of salt until coarsely crushed. Alternatively, pulse in a small food processor. Set aside.
  • In a 12-inch cast-iron or other heavy-duty skillet, heat the oil on medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the peppers and cook, undisturbed, until they begin to char in places, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 1 to 1-1/2 minutes.
  • Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the sesame oil, sprinkle with about 2 tsp. of the sesame salt, and serve.

    Tasty. I cooked these with green beans. I used powdered garlic but found it wasn't enough garlic.

    This has become a go-to side dish we make with any Asian dishes on the menu. It is so easy, so delicious and, even though we live in Mexico we are able to find these beauties at our local organic market. If only I could find bok choy...

    美味和超级简单!我们感到惊讶the shishito peppers we got were spicy (normally they are mostly not, or all not), so that didn't quite go with the sesame salt. But we tried it again with non spicy peppers, and it was delicious. Then I would recommend not blackening too much, because that flavor will overwhelm the sesame taste.
